Summary:
There is only one high school located in the North Jackson area - Jackson Heights High School and Middle School. This public school serves grades 7-12 and has a total enrollment of 176 students.
Jackson Heights High School and Middle School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 33rd out of 324 schools in 2021-2022 (5-star rating) to 222nd out of 327 schools in 2022-2023 (2-star rating) and 240th out of 318 schools in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state and district averages, though there are some exceptions, such as a higher-than-average 10th grade ELA proficiency rate in 2023-2024 and an exceptional 7th grade ELA proficiency rate in 2022-2023.
Despite the school's performance challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $16,443 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1, suggesting a focus on providing a quality educational experience. However, the school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 42.05% indicates that a significant portion of its student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could present additional challenges for the school in supporting student success.
